Egg Donation - Give the gift of life
In the UK today there is an increasing number of women who, for many different reasons, need donor eggs in order to conceive. The sad truth is that many of these women may never get the opportunity to undertake treatment - due to the shortage of donors.
We are working to find donors and, when you think of the immense impact that successful treatment can have on the lives of an infertile couple, you will understand why, as a potential donor, you are so important and so very special.
We need people who are prepared to make the effort to help someone in need and will support you in every way - to the maximum extent possible.
Women who require egg donation do not have any other way of conceiving and have to face long waiting times. Age is crucial and, for some of these women, the waiting time is just too long.
If you decide to become an egg donor, you will have the opportunity to help one of these women to bring new life into the world and a new light into their lives.
Please come forward - the following sections tell you how to go about it and, first, we answer some of the most common questions we are usually asked.
Who needs your help?
We need egg donors in order to be able to treat women who can no longer produce their own eggs. It may be that they have lost their ovaries due to cancer, surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy or that they are suffering from early menopause.
We also use egg donation to help women who are at risk of giving birth to a child with a genetic disorder to avoid the birth of children with disability, deformity, long-term illness or a short and painful lifespan.
